Caraway vs Lute
Where Caraway belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Lute is a Little Greene color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Lute (LRV 48) reflects noticeably more light than Caraway (LRV 43), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
